This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim: when the Messiah comes and sets up his kingdom, he will need no external force, he will do that by the power of his Spirit; chariots of war are for other kind of kings and kingdoms, but in promoting of his own kingdom he will make no use of such force.



And the horse from Jerusalem; either literal or typical.



The battle bow; another instrument of war, but not useful to the Prince of peace; neither bow’ nor sword brought salvation to him, nor shall they be mentioned in the day of his conquest.



He shall speak peace unto the heathen; make peace for them, and then publish it to them; that on the cross, this in the gospel; the Gentiles shall through him be reconciled unto God and one another, Eph_2:16.



His dominion; how mean soever on the ass, yet he hath a large dominion, is King of the universe.



From sea even to sea; from the Red Sea, and from the Arabian Gulf, to the Syrian Sea.



From the river, Euphrates, utmost bound east,



to the ends of the earth; to the utmost end of Canaan, toward the Mediterranean sea; a type of all the world to be the inheritance of Christ. These things promised here are of a spiritual nature, and are blessings of a spiritual kingdom.
